Ben Boumekpo connects B2B companies the week a trigger fires with the specialists who fix exactly that. An advisory book changes hands, a staffing firm sells, a roofing platform rolls up, a crew comes up short of visas.
Public filings, deal data, and labour records, updated as they publish. This is the market I watch.
- →262 RIA deals closed in the first half of 2026, the most active first half on record
- →35 staffing firms changed hands in Q1 2026, the strongest opening quarter in three years
- →Private-equity-backed roofing platforms grew from 17 to 56 in two years
- →Green-industry employers requested nearly 150,000 H-2B workers in FY2025, above the visa cap

No deal to point at yet — so here’s exactly what I put in motion.
- Triggered company → the specialist who fixes it A firm sells, a licence lands, a crew comes up short, a storm goes through. I put the right operator in front of you inside the week, while it is still the thing you are thinking about.
- Specialist → the companies who just became buyers If you staff, finance, insure, or service one of these markets for a living, I bring you the companies that crossed the line into needing you. Dated, with the reason attached.
Building in the open. I’m working alongside myoProcess — a vetted B2B partner trusted across $1B+ in transactions — while I route my first introductions in this lane. My first closed match replaces this paragraph.
What I see in this market that outsiders miss.
